The Chronicle says that the specula-
/! ton in cotton for future delivery at this
market has been fairly active for the
week under review, but prices have
shown good deal OF var:a5lcness and
irregularity, influenced largely by lr.a-
ripulation by the regular operators
+; soatu.day was rather tirmer, but on Mon
day the announcement of the failure of
house reported to Lave been leader
in the effort to corner this crop caused
sharp decline in July and August op-
tions, and weakened the whole position; !;
but On T:;esday better report from Liv-
erpooI and the repetition Of reports from
the Southwest that damage was being
/ doLe by droUth, with some accounts of
worms, caused ;tn equally smart advance.
On Wednesday the early months opened
lower and the next crop dcarcr, when
! the tone suddenly changed; there was
an active buying ot ,.ugust, with the
next crop more freely sold, closing lower,
while this crop maintained a small ad-
vance. Thursday an irregular opening
i was followed by general decline, attrib-
uted to tbs report Of failures at New
Orleans, the effect o: the recent Sharp
decline. Friday the market was duh
and weak. Cotton on the spot has met
with moderate demand for home con-
sumption Quotations were reduced
/! l-16c. on Monday. On ELursiaya & i:.cgo
business was done fer export, and up
lands were advanced l-l6c. Friday
there wss iit:i, Ioin2, and middling up
| lands nominal az lose.
